Starting to Miss at low RPM's

[4kQuad]

For the last few days, when I step in it to pick up speed it will give a miss or two, I thought maybe a bad tank of gas. I've filled again from a different station miss still there. On my way home yesterday I got about 5 or 6 out of it climbing a big hill.

So today I bought new Fuel filter, Air filter, Plugs and anit-size.
Gap is .35 on the plugs.

I changed out the Coil housing a while back and every thing (coils) looked fine.

So, I'm going to change out the above stuff this weekend and see what happens. Hoping the coils are still good. Anyone esle have a different Idea??

deffinatly sounds electric, sorry to say, replace the plugs and check out the ignition modual, even if its new.

Yes, I'm thinking Coils myself, but I wanted to start with the cheaper stuff. It had a lot of Black dust and white trails when I changed the coil housing. So the coils are probably having problems, could be what caused the black dust in the first place.

Thanks for the Input.

Changed out air filter, got in the car, fuel pump works, lights come on bells ringing ( seat belts not on) but nothing at the motor. Turned off the key, tried again, same thing lights and bells, but no rump, no click. PUt on seat belt, closed the door. Still nothing.

Pulled the ground off the battery, waited, rehooked and it's alive.
shut it off and restarted 3 times. Glad that worked, all I did was pull the air hose at the TB and canaseter lid. Swaped filter, rehooked hose and it was dead.

Then I got rained out.

ahhhh you had a loose connection at the battery. had this happen to me once, probbalby bumped it when removing the air hose. The soot marks on the housing are a problem though, look into that.

Yea that made me just now remember the GA battery terminal and cable connectors should be cleaned off every now and again to make good contact.

Got the plugs and oil changed today. I found one plg that was not tight. Jist put the plug socket on it and it spun. This is the first time I've changed/pulled plugs since the rebuild. They looked a little white, but all 4 looked the same. They could have all came out of the same cylinder they looked so close.

Any way put 20+ miles on it with no problems yet. MIght have just been tha
